I remember staying up late watching cable TV as a child and being awed by all of the bizarre products that could be purchased right from the television. Weights that shake, blankets with sleeves, towels that will wow you with how much liquid they sop up, and of course, ch-ch-ch-Chia Pets!
Nowadays, however, we don’t need to sacrifice sleep to find interesting, quirky products. We can just hop online! We’ve taken a trip to the “Of Course That’s A Thing” subreddit to find photos of some of the silliest items you probably never knew existed. So enjoy scrolling through this list, and be sure to upvote anything you’d appreciate being gifted for your birthday this year!

Another product from Shark Tank that deals with a slightly embarrassing matter was the Under-Ease. This product, which looks like a giant adult diaper, was designed to be anti-flatulence underwear. The creator told the sharks that they could confidently pass gas without anyone around them knowing, but unfortunately for him, they weren’t interested in the bizarre product. Perhaps the world just wasn’t ready for this idea yet…

If you’re a fan of waking up to the savory smell of bacon cooking, you might have been a fan of the Wake’n Bacon, which was featured on Shark Tank. This was an alarm clock, which had a cute yet simple pig face on it, that would wake snoozers by automatically cooking bacon at a set time. The sharks were not wowed by the idea, however, possibly due to concerns for safety or simply wondering why it would exist in the first place. So unfortunately, if you’re a bacon fan, you’ll need to cook your breakfast the old fashion way.
